Search engine optimization (SEO)

To optimize the referencing of your WebAcappella website on Google, follow the recommendations below:

Page properties configuration

  1. Page title and description

    These two elements are essential for SEO. Google uses the title and description to identify the content of your page, and displays them in search results.

    • Page title: Be concise and make sure the title reflects the main content of the page. Ideally, it should be between 60-70 characters.

    • Page description: This is a brief summary of your page that gives users an overview. Limit it to 150-160 characters.

  2. Physical name of pages

    The physical name refers to the URL of the page. Use simple, descriptive URLs.

    Example for a page on sports shoes: www.monsite.com/chaussures-sport.html

    In WebAcappella, define this name via the page properties.

Multilingual website referencing

A multilingual site must be treated as several independent sites for SEO purposes.

  • Submission to Google: Each language must be submitted individually to Google.

    To do this:

    1. Generate a sitemap for each language.

    2. Submit sitemaps via Google Search Console.

    Tip: You can also submit only the index for each language. This is useful if your site is simple and the home page clearly links to the other pages.
